Christmas is coming and winter is here!








"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire . . ."

A group of our talented missionaries toured around Hungary during December and performed Christmas concerts in several of our churches.  The following photos are from those concerts:

Our performers heading out on tour:  Front row, left to right: Medveczky Levente (organist),
Sister Bodily (pianist), Sister Roderick (vocalist), and Elder Rummler (vocalist).
Back row:  Elder Ottley (guitarist), Elder Allen (violinist) and Elder Kubricky (vocalist).
The first concert was in Győr and the building was filled to overflowing. 
After the concert everyone enjoyed delicious süti (desserts) and other goodies.

Our concert in Szolnok was held in a local school to accommodate a larger audience than our church building would hold.  The following photos are from that concert:
